I In evidence of the.progress of civilization in'
I the nineteenth century, and in this highly fa-fj
vored land of enlightenment, we quote the1,
I following from the Washington Star's account
I o(tie-cieration>o^Witz:-'<I3ie;^|]s of ther
I prison, the adjoining house-tops, and the.
I trees in the street and the Capitol grounds were
I loaded with curious spectators, who indulged
I in a variety of outcries not Calculated to inspirit
I the crimiual in his Jastmoments. In one inI
stance Wirz turned quickly and with a sort of
I defiant look in the direction from which some'
I call,, of "Haog the SiMKp
I reached nis ears. Afterwards he gave a Gool
I comprehensive look to the. whole surroundings
I of prison yard, spectators, fellow prisoners
I looking out at the windows, photographic ap
I paratus, gallows, Ac., resting his eye'in conI
elusion on Major Russell, who was reading
I the findiDgs and sentence of the Court Just
- 'k" ?nnSft was beintr adiusted. a voice called
as buv C= ? ,
impatiently from a tree, ''Down with him ; let
him drop." When the body fell, a shout,
with cheers, went up from the crowd of spec-'
tators outside.

Major Henry T. Dixon, (who had*the

of which was published in yesterday's Gazette,)
died this morning from the effects of 'he
wounds he received. He had the best surgical
assistance, but all efforts to save his life wv?e
unavailing. Maj. Dixon resided b-r many
years in Fauquier count}-, and was ext- n.-hy.'y
known in this piaoe, and ad the *Uii -g
country. He was appointed a Paymaster in
the army, shortly after the late war com?. #;iced,
